Freight/shipping company recommendations?

<plug> I often move obsolete equipment for people - old radio things and old computer things. I can not move huge amounts of stuff, but my van can easily hold one six foot rack (and change), and the trailer can hold two six foot racks (caccooned in plastic). I can also provide door to door service, and help with loading and unloading. Quite a few satisfied customers. Reasonable rates, too. The deal is that I really only make deliveries on my way to or from somewhere I am going - maybe with a little detouring. For example, I make a Chicago-New York run about seven times a year, so making a pickup in Pittsburg and a dropoff in Fort Wayne would not be a problem at all. ST. Louis would not be too bad of a detour. Also, I m always going out to the Providence and Boston area, so pickups and dropoffs can happen there. The other deal is that things pretty much work on my schedule, although I am flexible. Basically, hauling gets planned around trips - not trips being planned around hauling. I am seriously toying with a cross country trip this May - New York-California. The only way I can manage it is to do some hauling to pay for the gas and such. Hauling radio and computer things could make it possible. Anyone interested? Contact me off list. </plug> William Donzelli aw288(a)osfn.org
